"This feature is not available while logged in with root override. You are logged in with the root, or reseller's password. Please login with this user's account password".

The next step for you is to log out from the root and log into your individual cPanel.

Note: If root WHM users use a 'root' phpMyAdmin (WHM - MySQL - phpMyAdmin), they will have access to all databases on the server.

If you try to log in your phpMyAdmin (cPanel - MySQL - phpMyAdmin), it’s possible to see the next error:
